Lord Byron, William Henley, Edgar Allen Poe and T.S. Elliot sit down to play D&D, with Lord Tennyson as the DM.
Whose character is the first to die, and how?
>>43967701
T.S. Eliot's. Suicide via existential angst
>>43967701
Tennyson. All the others kill him for being shit at storytelling.
>>43968134
Unless he kills them first.
Byron doesn't turn up to the first session because he's too busy fucking bitches.
>>43967701
All I know is that Byron's Character will overcome every obstacle in his path and be handsome and amazing but continue to remain a societal outcast.
Poe's drunk at the table, convinced everyone else at the table is out to kill his character.
Edgar Allen Poe's. He creates a beautiful female character, probably a bard, and takes the time to show her as a character that's good, if a little symbolicly beautiful rather than humanly so, and then has her die under sad circumstances in order to create a feeling of sadness that elevates the others briefly into contact with a spiritual plane.

Charisma as a dumpstat?

>Charisma as a Dumpstat
Lord Byron was a sexual Tyrannosaurus with many male and female conquests. It's more of a reputation thing.
Surprisingly, Guts from Berserk is held up as an Example of a Byronic Hero.
In contrast, Griffith is a Romantic Hero.

More like sanity.
What D&D character would each of these guys create?
Easymode: what WoD character would each of these guys create? (I mean, come on)
Hardmode: What Dark Heresy character would each of these guys create?
>>43968248
Sadly he couldn't overcome fort saves v. disease.
>>43969284
But man, did he look good when he went.
>>43967701
Throw Lovecraft in and you have my interest.
>>43972988
With all due respect to a pop culture icon, I don't think you can really place Lovecraft on the same level as Tennyson or Henley.
>>43973078
He'd make a good GM.
>>43976675
sure, but he would run CoC, which nobody else at the table would enjoy
>>43978226
What if they ask him to run Golden Sky Stories?
>>43979291
That would be hilarious, and Byron would still be a vampire that fucks everything
>>43979343
Also it would go terribly, because I really doubt lovecraft could tell a story about an idyllic isolated town on an island with shape shifters without it getting creepy, even if he really tried his best
>>43979424
It also takes place in Japan, which, not being populated solely by white people, is a hellish and mysterious alien landscape.
>>43967701
More importantly, which classes would they play?
>>43968527
>Easymode: what WoD character would each of these guys create? (I mean, come on)
I know you're expecting me to say Byron would be a Sidhe and Elliot would be a Hollow One, but if you read the dedicated splatbooks and know something about the poets you'd realize they don't actually fit all that much.

>being this dense
Byron is the fuckdoll promethean archetype
Elliot is a sin-eater celebrant
